How To Change Your Cell Phone’s Touch Screen Sensitivity: Apple Or Android

Did you know you can change the touch sensitivity of your phone? All smartphones, including Android and iPhones, come with a default touch sensitivity which is usually good enough for most situations, but if you feel that your phone’s touch screen is too fast or slow, or otherwise not meeting your needs, you can change the touch sensitivity on your phone.

We know at CaliCase that this feature may be particularly useful when using a screen protector or a waterproof phone pouch.

Change Screen Sensitivity For Android Phone

Android has a feature that allows you to control the sensitivity of your screen. This feature can be particularly useful for people with dexterity issues. If you want to be very sure you are touching the right thing, set the screen sensitivity lower and you will have to work harder to activate things. If you need a softer touch, set the sensitivity higher.

You can change touch sensitivity on Android by going into Language & Input settings. This feature appears in different locations, depending on the model. Some smartphones have a separate setting, but you can also just search for “Language & Input” in your settings.

Adjusting the Haptic Touch Feature

The iPhone has two sensitivity modes for Haptic Touch — Fast and Slow. By default, Apple sets the Haptic Touch to the Fast mode, which can be too sensitive if you are getting used to the functionality. Switching to the Slow mode using the steps below can prevent accidental triggers of Haptic Touch.
